I am planning on building a counter flow chiller similar to the ones seen around hbt. I've never worked with copper pipes before and was wondering if someone could double check the sizing on these before I purchase them.

3/8" od x50ft copper tubing
1/2" nom x 5/8" od tee joint
1/2" nom x 3/8" nom reducer
1/2" L x 30" Hard Length (1/2" NOM X 5/8" OD x .040 Wall)

The goal is to solder the tee to the reducer connected by the hard length cut down to size with the 3/8" copper tubing running through it all. Are the sizes of the joints and the hard length copper the right size or are they not going to fit together. If they won't fit what size should I order?

Thanks:mug:
